Band & Music ChatGeneral Discussion on Music, Bands, Clubs and concerts.
I guess like any genre the points of demarcation are totally subjective so its hard to say although I would probably surmise anything that is dissonant or atonal could be considered noise. 20th century classical could be a starting point for some but as I say it's all subjective. Just like language attrition exists in the spoken word in music all changes are incremental and consequently defined changes in genre become very blurred and ill-defined, the '50's were the halcyon days of free form jazz so one could argue this was the first time atonal music became popularized to a relatively large degree. I would say most modern noise stemmed from early Power electronics and the New York No-Wave scene both dating from the late '70's early '80's.
